Wovenhand CD Launch at Mercury Café

David Eugene Edwards’ Wovenhand is celebrating the release of their fifth album Ten Stones, on Saturday, October 25 at 9 p.m. at the Mercury Café, 2199 California St. Tickets are $12 and reservations can be made by calling 303-294-9258. Information at 303-294-9281 or online www.mercurycafe.com

David Eugene Edwards, former frontman of 16 Horsepower and grandson of a Nazarene preacher, dropped out of a Colorado high school to play music. He is the lead singer of Wovenhand and the main songwriter and the principal musician on the bands recordings.

Edwards is joined on Ten Stones by guest artist Emil Nikolaisen’s (Serena Maneesh) with driving guitar and co-engineering, the rumbling vibrations of 16 Horsepower bandmate Pascal Humbert on electric and double bass, the incisive drumming of Ordy Garrison and the soulful guitar of Peter Van Laerhoven. On “His Loyal Love,” Elin Smith, of Danielson, adds guest vocals to Humbert’s melody. These sophisticated musicians, many of whom share co-writing credit with Edwards, freshly illumine his considerable vocal range and masterful song craft.

Co-produced by Daniel Smith of Danielson, Ten Stones was recorded at Sounds Familyre’s New Jerusalem Recreation Room in Clarksboro, NJ, as well as at Dust Bowl Studios in Glade Park, CO. Previous releases include Puur (2006) (Glitterhouse Records), Mosaic (2006) (Sounds Familyre), Consider the Birds (2004) (Sounds Familyre), Blush (Original Score) (2003) (Sounds Familyre), Blush Music (2003) (Sounds Familyre) and the self-titled debut album Woven Hand (2002) (Glitterhouse Records)

Ten Stones grazes in yet stranger pastures on its fifth release with Sounds Familyre and renders a beautiful encounter with healing, suffering, and sorrow.
